I do believe that much of Namie 2nd peak has to do with her post-TK career being almost a new act... Even if both have a lot of things in common, the overall feel is not of all of those being done by the same creative force... What is true considering the 90s Namie is based on the creative choices of TK and her agency, while the 00s-10s Namie is based on her own choices and tastes...
The only way Ayu could reproduce something close to that would be by giving a good amount (I mean, almost all) of her creative choices to someone else... What would also kill what makes her insteresting on the first place.
